Abbott Lake

Abbott Lake is a small, free BC Recreation Site situated on the northeast shore of its namesake lake, northwest of Merritt in the Thompson-Nicola region.

The site offers three vehicle campsites in a rustic, semi-open backcountry setting, with picnic tables, vault toilets, and a boat launch. No water is available on-site, and no reservations are accepted.

Access is via the Tyner Lake Forest Service Road, and a four-wheel-drive, high-clearance vehicle is strongly recommended due to rough road conditions and a small washout near the site. Trailers and larger rigs are not advised.

The lake is popular for fishing and boating, making it a quiet destination for tent campers and small truck campers seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience.
